Support
- In 2011, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) mandated that pharmaceutical manufacturers provide funds to educate health care professionals on the dangers of opioid addiction. These manufacturers, known as REMS Program Companies (RPCs), are the commercial source of grant funding for Opioid Analgesic REMS-Compliant Continuing Education; and served as grant sponsors. One of the main goals of this HOMESTUDY PROGRAM will be to introduce participants to available clinical tools and resources meant to help patients at risk of substance use disorder.
-
This activity is supported by an independent educational grant from the Opioid Analgesic REMS Program Companies.
Please see https://www.opioidanalgesicrems.com/Resources/Docs/List_of_RPC_Companies.pdf for a listing of REMS Program Companies. This activity is intended to be fully compliant with the Opioid Analgesic REMS education requirements issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
